This expat is heading for France!

I have lived in the small city of Pogradec, Albania for two years now, but in a few months, I will move to France. Why? The short answer is that my wants and needs have changed since I left Canada. There is more to the story of course and if you would like the insider info on how I came to this new path, please read on.
